Vif Seventh Convention for Fair and Uniform Taxation. WILMING Secretary Maxwell of Raeigh Declares Five Million Carolina Acres Will Yield ThU Year More Than Valuation. Atlanta, Ga., Xqv. 13. Representa tives from more than 35 states and from Canada were in attendance at the opening sessions of the seventh annual convention of the National Tax Asso ciation here today. Samuel T. Howe, president, in his annual address at the afternoon meeting, sounded the keynote of the convention. He said: "An effort will be made to secure uni form and fair taxation in all states, with especial reference to taxation problems between states and federal Sf-Inment." Fred 11. Fairfield, professor of polit ical economy, of Yale, was named per manent chairman. Among those in attendance is Shigo Idzumi, secretary of the Japanese min istry of finance, who is in this country studying methods of American taxa tion. Much real estate in North Carolina is under-assessed and at least 5,000, 000 acres this year will yield a net profit in excess of its assessed value according to A. J. Maxwell, clerk of the corporation commission of that state, who delivered an address be fore the seventh annual conference be the National 'fax Association here to day. '. . The North Carolina tax commission two years ago undertook a state-wide equalization of realfestate as between counties but because of a lack of proper administrative machinery it was only partly successful, Mr. Max wel said. In his opinion only the state general assembly can improve condi tions and he suggested legislation re quiring the assessment of all property either at its full value or at a definite percentage of that value. In .no other way . will equality between taxpayers be obtained, he said. The speaker also suggested more recognition of the work done by local officials, especial ly assessors, and the placing of those officers on a permanent basis at in creased salaries. Speaking in general. Mr. Maxwell suggested to the memers of the as sociation, for their future considera tion and discussion, the advisability of taxing the unearned increases in real estate which is taking place steadily where the demand for real estate is continually increasing. This, however, was a matter for the future, he said, the important consideration at this time being proper administrative ma chinery by which any system of tax ation must be measured.

Motors tested out up to this time have been largely . produced as individual type units by slow hand processes. The first deliveries, it was learned today, will be comparatively small. The rate of production will, speed up every day thereafter and long before spring breaks the winter's grip on the fight ing fronts, Liberty motors will be turn ed out at a rate that will enable the United States not only to meet its own requirements but also to deliver thous ands to certain of the allied govern ments which have requested allotments. Tests of the motor, both the army and navy types, are proceeding most satis t.orlly. Ohicers of both services, heretofore skeptical of the possibility of turning out in a comparatively short space of time air fleets that might bring deci sive results in the war, are becoming more and more impressed. Recent trials of army type Liberty planes, American-built throughout and including Liberty motors, have shown good results, , One of these fighting models, according to reports, made ex traordinary speed, approximating the best pace of the one-man fighting planes in use on the war fronts. - HE4R HOW THE -WOUNDED ARE ATTENDED UNDER FIRE the Itliej.t; ' ' ' V.r; hl" omach troubles and 3r o r 0?'' v'eaken our minds, dwarf ;ts and limit .- an wm do more to '-ake i' Wrld- to dispel. slooin. to er u,e medicinss that have ha.

More Militants Arrested. Washington. Nov. 13. Thirty-one militant suffragists with banners ap peared before the White House lare again today and were arrested. The crowd of spectators was. not so good humored as those which have watched most of the other demonstrations re cently and ten of the women had their banners torn from them before the po lice took charge. The women refused to furnish bond and all were taken to the house of detention , to await ;tnal tomorrow. San Francisco, Nov. 13. Further details of the recent battle between the Russian and German fleets in the Gulf of Riga was disclosed here today by Lieut. P. Tirbak, who is on his way to Washington, where he will be attached to the staff of the Russian ambassador, George Kakhmteiff. Lieut. Tirbak, who was on the flagship of the Russian admiral, said the fleet was handicapped by its engagement with the Germans by the shallow water in Moon sound, which prevented their modern ships from joining the battle, .nussian forces on Oesel island consisted of 5,600 infan trymen, said Lieut. Tirbak. They were not supported by artillery and were op posed by five times their number. Three of the four regiments attempt ed to desert when they discovered the numbers of the enemy and were shot down in droves by the fourth regiment, which stood fast to its position and was slaughtered. Of the original 1,400 men in this regi ment, only 15 survived, said the lieu tenant. The Russian fort at Zerel was de serted soon -after - the Germans gained a foothold on the island, according to Lieut. Torbak, and because he diu not wish to see it captfe., he set a time fuse to the munitions .magazine and destroyed the fort. It was considered impregnable, as it had withstood the bombarding of the heavy shells of the enemy's navy and airplane squact. Lieut. Tirbak witnessed the sinking of the Russian battleship Slava. a relic of the Russo-Japanese war, which went down In the channel of Moon sound. The sinking of this vessel blocked the channel and prevented the Germans from gaining access to the Gulf of Fin land. The lieutenant said this .move was thought to be one of the most bril liant strategic actions of the Russian navy In this war. PELLAGRA IN STATE DECREASED ABOUT HALF raT Football Injury Fatal. Dallas. Tex.. Nov. 3. Thomas Ryan, lfi of Alvarado. Texas, ded In a lvs tnrfav of injuries received while ring football Saturday. More Intelligent Cooking: and Eating Best Cure and Prevention. (Special Star Correspondence.) Raleigh, Nov. 13. That pellagra In North Carolina has decreased almost half within the last year, despite the fact that food conseration has been faithfully preached and as faithfully practiced, it is hoped, is considered one of the state's greatest victories in pub lic health work. In 1914 there were 551 deaths in the state from, pellagra; in 1915 there were 831, while in J916 there were 467; 241 white deaths and 226 colored. This rate of decrease Is in keeping with that of other southern states where uellagra has been prevalent, and is thought in a measure to be due to a more general industrial and agricul tural prosperity in the south. What ever brings about a more varied and sufficient dietary is considered the ene my of pellagra. Pellagra is now known to be one of the so-called deficiency diseases in duced by insufficient balanced rations. It is not infectious. What one eats has all to do with' its cure as well as its prevention. Foods rich in protein as beef, beans, milk, eggs and fresh vege tables are especially recommended for the pellagrin's bill of fare. Wheat, raw and yeast risen bread might be includ ed, as modern milling, oaking powders and excessive cooking of all foods ex cept cereals, have been suggested as some of the indirect causes of this dis ease. More intelligent cooking and eating may be said to be the real cure and prevention of pellagra, but not of pel lagra only. Numerous diseases and bad health conditions are known to be the result of improper cooking and eating. Whatever brings about a more Intelli gent preparation and serving of foods will be the reform that Hoover as well as health workers are seeking. This one reform, it is said, will win the war. VN ATTEMPT WAS MADE TO DYNAMITE TROOP TRAIN Pueblo. Colo., Nov. 13.

London, Nov. 14. -The Morning Post today pays a tribute to President Wil son, saying: "We wish some of our own minis ters would acquire President Wilson's knack of saying the right thing at the right time." The newspaper goes on to say that President Wilson's Buffalo address, al though simple in form, was irresistible in Its effect. It adds that Premier Lloyd-George, who in his Paris speech "made a well-justified, If rather a dar ing contrast between rhetoric and reality," might have illustrated his point from the utterances of President Wilson, "who has the rare: gift for touching realities in a phrase a gift that is peculiar to true leadership." Referring to pacifists, the Morning Post says President Wilson has done more to discredit their always mis chievous and sometimes malicious ac tivities than any other influence. "He has given not only to his own countrymen, but to the allies," says the newspaper, "just the forthright and unflinching lead they needed a lead he always renews unfailingly when it is most needed. As we said before, President Wilson is a good man to go tiger hunting with." The Daily Mail, commenting on the President's Buffalo speech, says it de serves . a high place in the literature of liberty. "There has been nothing more im pressive since the United States en tered the war," says the Dally Mail, "than the attitude and demeanor of Ame'rlcan labor.. The work ingmen and women of the United States under the leadership of Samuel Gompers have displayed the practical patriotism which is the supreme test and proof of American earnestness and American, unity."
